Japan and Uruguay meet in the 2026 Kirin Challenge Cup at 19:05 on September 24 at Q&A Stadium Miyagi. It is the opening match of Japan’s new cycle after the 2026 World Cup, while Uruguay also begin the Diego Forlán era. Japan finished second in World Cup Group F with five points, scoring seven goals and conceding three before losing 2-1 to Brazil in the Round of 32. In their last seven matches, Japan have won four, drawn two and lost one. Uruguay finished third in Group H with two points after drawing 1-1 with Saudi Arabia, drawing 2-2 with Cabo Verde and losing 1-0 to Spain, which eliminated them. In their last five matches, Uruguay have drawn four and lost one. The recent head-to-head record is closely balanced: Japan beat Uruguay 4-3 in 2018, the teams drew 2-2 in 2019 and drew 1-1 in 2023. Both sides have shown the ability to produce tight contests, with Japan also holding home advantage. Uruguay enter the match with a new coach, and this is Forlán’s first international window in charge, while Japan remain under Hajime Moriyasu. With greater recent stability and home advantage, a 1-1 draw is a reasonable projected outcome.

Grorud host Moss in the Round of 32 of the 2026/27 Norwegian Cup at Grorud Match kunstgress. It is a cross-division clash: Grorud are fifth in the second tier, while Moss compete in OBOS-ligaen. Grorud have built a solid 2026 campaign, collecting 37 points from 20 matches while scoring 34 and conceding 20. They finished second in the 2025 PostNord-ligaen with 54 points and fifth in 2024 with 45 points. Recent form favors the hosts: Grorud are unbeaten in five matches, recording three wins and two draws while scoring 10 goals. Moss have also won twice in five, but conceded 11 goals and kept only one clean sheet. The head-to-head record gives Moss an advantage: across the last five meetings, Grorud have one win, one draw and three defeats. However, the most recent meeting was in February 2024, limiting the relevance of that older record. Moss have the advantage of playing at a higher competitive level, but Grorud's momentum and home advantage create a balanced contest. Grorud have e
